Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The scheme consisted of a number of talks from partners and associates from different departments within the firm. We were also given tasks throughout the week which were related to the service departments in the firm. On the middle day of the scheme we did an Assessment Centre as part of an application for a training contract at the firm. On two evenings we took part in socials with our peers and trainee buddies.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Everyone who spoke to us throughout the scheme was friendly and eager to answer any questions we had. This made it easy to get a good feel for the firm, and a thorough understanding of the potential roles available.
